After nearly a hundred generations of Nimps passed, the tradition of Black Nimps being energy collectors and White Nimps being light watchers was no longer a tradition. It had now become a reality. The thought of any other type of reality was believed to be a fantasy.
Because they spent a majority of their time chasing after energy particles, Black Nimps were now believed to be strong and energetic. Because they spent the entirety of their time watching and appreciating their light particle, White Nimps were now believed to be much more gentile and tender. The Nimps didn't seem to have a problem with the way things were. After all, this was reality.
For one White Nimp, it may have been reality, but it wasn't satisfaction. The White Nimp was not the least bit interested in staying in one spot at all times and just staring at it's light particle. It wanted motivation in it's life.
When the White Nimp stayed by it's light particle, it would also try and catch a glimpse of all the Black Nimps that spent most of their days chasing after light particles. As it watched day by day, it's desire to join them grew into desperation. It's desperation then grew into obsession.
One day, the White Nimp had had enough. After it's Black Nimp companion had arrived from retrieving particles, the White Nimp explained to the Black Nimp what it desired. The Black Nimp was appalled.
"You want to collect energy particles?" the Black Nimp said with an infuriated tone of voice. "But then who's going to stay and watch the light particle?"
"Why don't you?" the White Nimp replied.
The Black Nimp laughed. "You want to switch roles? Me stay and watch the light particle while you go and collect energy? Have you gone insane?"
"No, I've become uninterested with my 'role.'"
"Collecting energy is a Black Nimp's job."
"As a Light Source, our responsibility is to keep the light particle lit up. Whether the White Nimp or the Black Nimp generates energy for it, the light particle will remain lit nonetheless."
No matter how much convincing the White Nimp did, it's Black Nimp companion would not let it leave the light particle behind. The White Nimp could not understand why. All it wanted was to help collect energy for it's light particle. Why was that such a problem?
This White Nimp was not the only White Nimp with this issue. Many White Nimps all across the planet had grown uninterested in just staying in one spot and staring at their light particles. As much as they appreciated their light particles, they all would much rather have been running along the planet looking for energy rather than just staying confined to one area. But as much as they stated their complaints to their Black Nimp companions, their wishes were never granted. The Black Nimps all believed the White Nimps to be incapable of gathering and generating energy. They refused to let the White Nimps take on their roles.
One day, the White Nimps decided to take action. A large group of White Nimps determined to achieve their goal of generating energy confronted the Black Nimps and demanded that they be allowed to collect energy and not forced to stay and watch the light particles. Once again, the Black Nimps refused.
"We Black Nimps are the only ones capable of generating energy!" the Black Nimps all bellowed. "We are much stronger and active than you White Nimps! You all are much too weak and gentile to be collecting energy!"
"That is not true!" the White Nimps all shouted. "We White Nimps can collect energy just as well as you Black Nimps! Other than generating the light to create the light particle, there is nothing a Black Nimp can do that a White Nimp can't do!"
"You White Nimps stay in your confined space where you belong and keep an eye on that light particle!"
The White Nimps refused to give up. The White Nimps continued to demand that their wishes be granted. As much as The Black Nimps refused, the White Nimps would not quit. They would not quit until they were allowed to collect light.
After a large span of time, the Black Nimps finally had enough of the White Nimps protests and reluctantly granted them their wishes. White Nimps became allowed to collect and generate energy for their light particles. This new practice was frowned upon by many Nimps, Black and White, as it defied the only reality that they knew. But this practice became much more common as more generations of Nimps passed. White Nimps were now very often seen chasing the after energy particles with Black Nimps. Even with this change in tradition, the planet stay perfectly illuminated.
Even with White Nimps collecting energy to be considered more common, the belief of all Black Nimps being strong and all White Nimps being gentile had not disappeared in the slightest. Many Nimps, Black and White, were much more comfortable with the "traditional" way of keeping a light particle alive and found White Nimps collecting energy to be a disgrace. But White Nimps continued to collect enegy when they wished and much fewer Nimps criticized them for doing so. Many even considered White Nimps "strong and courageous" to go against the belief that White Nimps are gentile and tender creatures that should stay confined to an area at all times.
But even with the sudden change in traditions, the problems were still far from over.
